Kim Althea Gordon, born April 28, 1953, is an American musician, singer, songwriter, and rapper best known as the bassist, guitarist, and vocalist of the alternative rock band, Sonic Youth. Gordon forged a path with Sonic Youth in New York City's underground music scene before rising to prominence in the alternative rock boom of the 1990s.
